Very slow when emptying Trash

[s2s]

Does anyone notice this? If I deleted few large files like video files each is about 1-2 GB. Moving them to Trash is instant, however emptying Trash takes extremely long time to finish...

I never had this problem before High Sierra.

Same here. No solution yet.

I filed a developer bug report, they asked for logs etc etc.

I feel it is something related to quarantine problem too, If I do "xattr -d com.apple.quarantine filename" under ~/.Trash/ from Terminal, then empty Trash, I can feel it is faster, sometimes.

I deal with quite a few ~50GB files (each files 50GB) in the last few days, the empty trash is almost instantaneous, however, it will take minutes for Finder to show up the correct empty space available on the APFS SSD (after empty trash).

Couldn't tell the exact reason, but I think only those downloaded files are affected. If I duplicated multiple copies of local file, I didn't get such problem then.

Pretty sure the duplicated file is just a very small size "pointer". Therefore, Finder is actually deleting a very small file. May be that's why the process is much faster.
